If you're like many users, you may have a digital camera, plenty of snapshots, and a copy of Photoshop Elements, Adobe's wildly popular consumer-level image editing software. But you may not want--or need--a comprehensive book just to learn the basic photo retouching and organizing tasks that you want to accomplish. Realizing that you won't want to waste a single minute reading about all you can do with Photoshop Elements, best-selling author Katherine Ulrich cuts straight to the chase in this compact, low-priced volume, using simple project-based instruction and big, colorful screen shots to guide you through the process of making your first photo album with Photoshop Elements. By focusing on a single goal (organizing your photos into an album) rather than exploring every option and feature, Katherine demonstrates the quickest, easiest, smartest route to photographic success. Each short lesson builds on the last as you learn how to fix common flaws, artistically enhance your photos, create composites, add text and graphics, explore different printing options, organize them into a stunning album, and, finally, how to share them with friends, family, and colleagues.
